2nd labour..... Dreading it more than with my first

[wishfulone]

Ladies, just wanted to updated my little girl arrived Monday night and I had been nervous about 2nd birth after a very long hard labour with my son after being induced. Couldn't of been more different this time, started getting cramps at lunchtime very manageable every 10 mins, didn't even tell anyone until about 6pm when I got into the bath, contractions got stronger at 7.30pm put my tens on, breathed through contractions and stayed mobile. Left for hospital at 9.30pm, not convinced they would admit me at that stage as I was coping so well. Put turned out to be 5cm, taken to delivery room and baby was born at 11.45pm using just gas and air and the tens machine. Had a tear as she came out so quick but apart from that it was very manageable. Just wanted to reassure as I had been nervous too but it was a total different experience this time. Good luck it's worth every min! X

How wonderful! ENjoy your new little bundle. I am so glad that things went well for you!
